MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Hello
I am appealing to the collective wisdom of STW for some help.
I have just moved into a new build proprerty and am stuck between BT and Openreach.
Openreach need to do some work to connect the property but I cannot call them directly to try and expedite this (this has been 6 weeks now) and any time I call BT for an update they tell me they have escalated this (4 times apparently) worth Openreach.
Despite politeness this is getting no where and I need to find another way to avoid 20mins plus wasted on the phone talking to BT.
any help appreciated
Thank you
Good luck - your contract is with BT and their 'now separate' Openreach usually plumb the lines in from the box - separate businesses effectively.. Keep onto BT.
It took us some time 20'odd years ago to get a line in, but our house was delayed, so they got the line in within a couple of weeks of us being there.
Nothing you can do, just wait out...
Do as some small Scottish and Welsh communities have done and finish the job yourself?

Have BT said what the issue is with Openreach?
I deal with line provisioning on a daily basis using Openreach, so if you want to PM me your details I can at least check your address for lineplant issues etc. I won't be able to query your order, but I may be able to offer some suggestions.
